Sunday Night Knockout Invitational Edition

With 5 cups done we want to make a clear cut to switch to the Krefeld Battleground Seeding tournament and arranged a viewer’s pleasure for this Sunday night when we invite 3 time winner Team Solo B, Teamoxid (2 cup wins), Elysium (2 times runner up) and k1ngs (1 time runner up) to bring on glory matches on MerlinatoR’s live stream and Games TV.

Special rule regarding map choice:

Each match will be best-of-three while the first map of the match will be forced. The loser of a map will pick the next one. As a participant you are only allowed to pick each map once during the tournament until the grand final. For example, first round Team A wins the forced supply, Team B can decide the next map and chooses Bremen B3. Team B can not pick Bremen B3 again until the grand final. Also, if Team B wins the second map, Team A decides what the third map will be, of course Team A can’t pick a map that was already played in the match.

First map each round:

Round 1: Supply

Round 2: Radar

Round 3: SW Goldrush TE

Round 4: Grand final will be best of 5, while the team from the lower bracket is one map behind. The team from lower bracket decides the first map.

Live stream by MerlinatoR will start with the upper bracket final. Tune in on twitch.tv, He will cast games 3, 5 and 6 listed below. We will keep you updated in this news post and on Facebook, so stick around for the matches:
